Alicia Keys Celebrates Milestone Anniversary of Historic Unplugged with Vinyl Release of the 2005 MTV Performance

Legacy Recordings, the catalogue division of Sony Music Entertainment, and AK Worldwide proudly announce the release of Unplugged 20th Anniversary, a deluxe 2-LP black vinyl edition of Alicia Keys’ landmark MTV Unplugged performance. Set to arrive on October 3, 2025, this special edition commemorates two decades since the intimate concert recorded live on July 4, 2005, at the Brooklyn Academy of Music.

Alicia Keys’ original Unplugged performance made history as the first Unplugged by a female artist to debut at number one and became the highest debut for a MTV Unplugged performance since Nirvana’s iconic session in 1994. The 20th Anniversary Edition brings that milestone performance back to vinyl, celebrating the classics from Songs in A Minor and The Diary of Alicia Keys alongside a cover of Brenda Holloway’s “Every Little Bit Hurts”.

The release will include a medley of “Goodbye/Butterflyz” and bonus track “How Come You Don’t Call Me” recorded during the MTV Unplugged performance and available on vinyl for the first time ever.
